The War Within 11.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

It would of been fine if Bolvar was more involved in the story. Sadly it was not to be.

They should have kept Jaina and co home and given all those parts to Bolvar, perhaps they could remember that Bolvar and Anduin were fairly close.

I suggested earlier that we could have the last raid be on the outskirts of Avaloren. We get there to stop Iridikron from getting inside and the raid is in a Titan facility the natives repurposed which generates a shield that keeps the rest of the island safe. We stop what we have to stop but the shield is damaged and then in the prepatch we assemble there as we wait for the shield to fail (which it does at expansion release )
Then Avaloren could have a mix of Pirates (we protect the Isles from the Nightsquall's invasion), Void and Titan.

Sounds like good fun that would allow a lot of creative designs! I'm always interested by the pirate fantasy bit it's rarely been done in a way that works on me in warcraft. I find more enticing to follow the story of the fleet of kultiran vessals that were trapped in the storm rather than the pirate shenanigans in freehold. So if we're able to have a new aspect of the pirate life that's a great opportunity!

TBC was a mess, we went after Illidan, Kaelthas(lol). The expansion ended as Kil'Jaeden was about to be summoned. I'm glad TBC exists but storywise there was no need to make Illidan the bad guy, same with Kaelthas. Sure it was cool for a boss fight in a raid but....not worth the story potential though.

I think we can forgive them because they were still trying to figure out how to create an expansion tied to the narrative. They were so lost with the story that there wasn't even an Illidan model until the patch he showed up. You meet him only once in the entire level process, and he's nothing but a talking crystal.

In hindsight is kinda hilarious, if you ask me - there was zero reason for us to go there, or even raid his temple and kill him. But hey, many years later, I'm in the Dragon Isles and I have no idea why either. I think there's some golem that fell of a tower or something? It's vital that I take pictures of animals and climb mountains though.

Great video on World Revamp possibility.

Note on the filename part of the video before people take that the wrong way.

Lets not just link 25 min bellular clickbait videos without actually discussing the contents.

It's basically just the same thing as has been discussed in here for the last several years, but condensed into a video for the general public. It's a good video speculation wise but it's nothing thread regulars here don't already know about nor contains anything that hasn't already been discussed here at length.

I'm leaving the world revamp to a tenuous "Maybe" I do want older areas to look better to sort of "compete" with other MMOs and well really represent what we imagine a highly detailed WoW would look like.

Nice attempt, but I recognize that "B" logo.

Well, that's what you get if you just skip through the quests. You're there because the Aspects invited you over. And you're coming as part of a research expedition, which explains the pictures and climbing. Most of the rest happened after we arrived on the Isles.

Meanwhile, in TBC we went to Outland because somebody left the door open and beat up Illidan because A'dal promised us purplez... or something. About half the raids made no lick of sense, least of all Hyjal which didn't even have any kind of explanation. It was just there for some reason.

The epithet of An’shuul (“The Cosmic Wanderer”) sounds similar to the Phantom Stranger from DC

"Great video" and Bellular do not belong in the same sentence, dude just clickbaits to the extreme.

Do any YouTubers like him do anything other than recap the findings of threads like these?

[Marlamin]

His video is very interesting and invites us to imagine what certain areas could look like in a potential revamp. It's really cool and I don't understand why people spit on it.

This is what this thread should look like.

It is what the thread has historically looked like when there wasn't as much back and forth bickering.

He is also an YouTuber and the Number One Rule here is to hate YouTubers with burning passion.

[Nightmare Queen]

Ehhh I doubt it. But there may be a Pantheon of Light.

Soo... Angels and Archangels? Or maybe just Naaru.

I have no issue with informative YouTubers. I simply don’t watch YouTubers whose primary goal is to manipulate the YouTube algorithm. They just suck up your time with extraneous babble and sponsorships with the potential to reveal a nugget of information that might’ve taken 20 seconds to cover.

I was thinking more akin to what we see with the Old Testament and it's Angelic beings.

Would be cool to see, but I think eldritch beings with multiple eyes would be TOO close to Void beings.
BE NOT AFRAID

Honestly I'd just like them to be mountain-sized crystals just floating in Light. Think Worldstone from Diablo.

I... haven't played Diablo, so I had to look that up.
It does sound like a good idea, but I think I'd rather have something a bit more anthromorphic lol
